This tour was the highlight of our time in Varanasi over the weekend. Great way to see Old Varanasi and Bharat was an excellent guide with very insightful commentary of the history and points of interest. Fantastic breakfast and opportunities to purchase things on the way, the Spice Market was brilliant and took home lovely flavoured tea and spices for cooking curries at home. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Varanasi, a definite must!!!
Curious about Varanasi’s spiritual heart? This two-day Varanasi & Sarnath Tour with Arati is your gateway to India’s most sacred rituals and ancient history. Begin with a journey to Sarnath, where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon, and explore historic stupas and ruins that echo centuries of devotion.
Return to Varanasi to wander its labyrinthine lanes, visit storied ghats, and take two tranquil boat rides along the Ganges—witnessing the profound intersection of daily life and death. The highlight comes at dusk: the iconic aarti ceremony at Dashashwamedh Ghat, a spectacle of lights, music, and prayer.
With top-rated accommodation and attentive service, this tour’s USP is its seamless blend of sightseeing and immersive ritual. Perfect for travelers seeking an in-depth cultural tour, it distills the essence of two legendary Indian destinations into a concise, memorable package.
